The new museum definition of ICOM and the FARO Convention highlight the importance of the participation of communities. Therefore, seven professionals working in the field of intangible cultural heritage from different European countries will share their insights on the making of an inventory, participation, and methods to make heritage visible for a broader audience. What can we learn from the European examples and how can we enhance and improve cooperation with communites?

(Intangible) cultural heritage does not exist in itself: it is part of society. Many heritage organisations are working on bringing (intangible) cultural heritage closer to the public and to stimulate the safeguarding by doing research, making an inventory, making it visible in museums or digitising it. What are succesful examples of the work of European heritage professionals in Germany, Belgium, Scotland and Spain?
